An Astoria Evening (2016)

These photos are all from the same evening in May of 2016, starting around six and ending at eleven-thirty. Looking at them all together, it is a sort of reconstruction of what would have been a pretty average weekend day—we headed from Ditmars down to Mar’s for dinner, and then a while later, stopped in at the Let Love Inn to hang out with folks before heading home. We didn’t go to these exact places every weekend, but the itinerary of these few hours reminds me of one of the things I love about Astoria—you can walk it, up and down, without getting too worn out, you can meet up on a whim with friends who also live in the neighborhood, and hang out at some delightful spots along the way.

So these are all shots from a perfectly average, random, weekend evening in Astoria, the sort that I absolutely loved.
